A house like this has zero curb appeal or charm, and color is the easiest and cheapest way to give it some personality.I'm very aware different locales have wildly different attitudes and characters, have been to Nawlins many times, and as I wrote, not suggesting replicating the wildest of color schemes found in the Quarter, but as an example of how completely transforming a bit of color can be for a tiny house.Here are a few more examples, some from the Quarter.

Also, as an added bonus, he LOVES Detroit and has not looked back to LA.  

Assuming theres no major issues, all thats left for value add is curb appeal which could be a bonus for me.

It was funny in the rental application where it asked for landlord references ... we owned more rental property than our to be landlord :) Anyhow, fast forward a year and we had become familiar with the area, the job was ok, we had been saving like crazy for a larger down payment, as an added bonus the market had softened and prices actually had gone down.

who has run with this idea- they are getting OTHER people to put the decals on their window, with a bonus paid to that person for any deal that comes through them.

I also hesitate NOT to allow animals because it feels like everyone and their brother has an animal in CO and pet rent is a nice bonus to the bottom line.  

You should think again about trying the project -- they are not in business to take houses from you (it's a hassle not a bonus).

The basement unit could be rented out but it would be illegal, so we consider this property just a duplex with a basement as a bonus.

wow, big transformation!  

It's not a bad idea to offer a bonus for finishing on bigeye and on time or early.
